    I think I played this right. Well looking back, should I have pushed big on the turn after a very quick check? I was really more interested in seeing if my reraise would buy a card (not really helpful though in a hand that I’m not drawing for).
    I guess I figured I’d see if I could get him to fold on the flop with a reraise and check fold to the river.

    I don’t think would have played this hand unless I was first in, but was this okay?
    Martensitico was on a severe tilt, and was overplaying every hand. I was 95% sure I had him dominated after the flop. If I missed the flop I don’t think I would have called his bet, although if he Checked I might have tried an all=in bluff. Bad idea?

    This hand really set up my reputation with this guy that I was willing to play anything. I’m thinking I should have raised this preflop, but I think I had already been stealing a lot before this and wanted to slow down and just see if I could get lucky enough to flop a set.

    Figured I was in the money, time to gamble. Dumb? I think the decision to push right away made is really seem like I was holding the ace.

    Are these pushes overly reckless? Again, in the money, let’s gamble.

    Trying to buy the pot. I think the stack got to my head and I was feeling a little invincible. Really should have let this one go, but after I raised him and he went all in, I figured it too late to fold- I was too pot commited and the chance to take him out was worth the hit to my stack. I got a lot of trash talked to me about that call.

    epitome1170, loses $600

    I figured I had him on tilt and this would be a pretty solid shot at taking him out after his reraise. All or nothing. I think this was also an ego call. What do you guys think?

    ================================================== ==============

    I give credit for this win to FTR. I never really considered suited connectors to be an ideal all-in heads up, especially over Ax, Kx. Again, I was happy with 2nd and willing to gamble with a decent hand for the win.



    I also now enjoy being called an asshole for betting more than the minimum raise and betting at every flop I play. It’s very unsettling for other players to have to commit to bets that are much higher than they’re used to and I’ve been surprised how willing people are to fold no matter what the flop looks like. I think I'm begining to understand tight/aggressive play.
